About Mark

Mark Shurtleff resigned as a partner in the Washington, DC office of Troutman Sanders in June of 2013 in order to start his own law firm, regulatory and legal consulting firm, and several business ventures. Mark retired from public office as the only three term Attorney General in the history of the State of Utah (2001-2013). He is recognized as an expert in numerous cutting edge legal skills and issues including litigation, business law, criminal law, constitutional law, finance, entertainment, and energy-related matters. Working with his colleagues on both sides of the political aisle, Mark won praise for fashioning workable solutions to a variety of problems.


Notable achievements during his tenure as the Utah Attorney General include: Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force has received national recognition, while in office, over 500 internet predators and child pornographers were arrested and convicted (with a 99% conviction rate.) The number of sex offenders in Utah prisons increased by more than 50%. Set up Utah’s AMBER Alert, which became a model for the nation and has received national awards, and he led the development of the first statewide Child Abduction Response Team. He developed the first statewide identity theft database, the Identity Theft Reporting and Information System or IRIS. The website is a one stop resource for victims to file online complaints with law enforcement, clear their credit and learn how to better protect their identities.
